TITLE
The Sensory Classroom: Beyond Fidgets, Corners & Calm-Down Tricks

DESCRIPTION
Sensory-friendly classrooms are about much more than fidgets, sensory bins, and calming corners. In this episode of The Teacher’s Lounge Podcast, Isa explores how the entire classroom experience—from noise, movement, and transitions to curriculum, routines, and teacher responses—can affect how children regulate and engage. We’ll look at how to recognize patterns without labeling behavior, support children who seek or avoid different sensory experiences, use everyday classroom routines as opportunities for movement and regulation, and create calming spaces that support rather than punish. And because teachers have sensory limits too, we’ll also talk about the role adult regulation plays in the classroom. The goal isn’t a perfectly calm classroom—it’s a more intentional one.
